    In the C-64, the VIC generates the DRAM timing, so we are just stuck with 1
    MB/s to main board memory and/or I/O. Even IF you would be able to get 4
    MB/s out of it, it is still nothing compared to the 100+ MB/s of the SDRAM
    (32 bits at 33 MHz, my current reasonable target).
    
    So, I think the best we can go for is to program the MMU such that no
    unnecessary writes/reads are done to/from the main board.
